TechLaunch is a virtual business accelerator for tech startups. BullPen #15 is being hosted at Monmouth University. Our local supporters include Create Labs Ventures, CoWerks and Upstartgarden.

The series of “BullPen” pitch events (similar in concept to “Shark Tank”) is where a select handful of 4 tech startup companies pitch their business plans to a panel of investors and mixed audience.
